More than 140 travellers and crew members who were onboard a flight hit by severe turbulence landed in Singapore on a relief flight earlier this morning.

Passengers onboard SQ321 which was heading from London to Singapore, recounted scenes of "absolute terror"

with one passenger saying he saw a woman with an "awful gash on her head", and heard another "screaming in agony"

A 73-year-old British man, Geoff Kitchen, died from a suspected heart attack onboard, while several others remain seriously injured.

Mr Kitchen is believed to have suffered a heart attack when the plane was hit by the turbulence. Reports say he was on his way to Singapore to start a six-week holiday along with his wife who was also on board

The Singapore-bound Boeing 777-300ER diverted to Bangkok following the mid-air incident

making an emergency landing at 15:45 local time (08:45 GMT) with some 211 passengers and 18 crew aboard.

Some 79 passengers and six crew members are still in Bangkok - where they are receiving medical treatment for injuries.

Andrew Davies, a British passenger onboard the Boeing 777-300ER, told the BBC's Radio 5 Live that the plane "suddenly dropped... [with] very little warning".
